Chapter 2

Immediately after, the familiar game interface appeared on the light screen.

In the middle of the screen was a 3D model of Tang Song himself, lifelike, wearing only a pair of shorts.

A line of striking golden data floated above his head: 【Charm: 24】.

Tang Song rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting that he had drunk fake alcohol last night and, combined with being too sad, was hallucinating.

However, the light screen remained floating in front of him, and he could see it even with his eyes closed.

Although "Male God Growth Plan" had simulation management as its core, it was essentially still a male god cultivation game.

The main quest was to improve the game character's charm and become a true male god.

The game's rating of charm was very comprehensive.

It synthesized appearance, aesthetics, demeanor, cultivation, ability, assets, social status, etc.

A charm value of 24 could only be said to be very ordinary.

Tang Song raised his hand, wanting to touch his character model.

As soon as this thought arose, a click effect appeared on the character model, and the game interface jumped directly to 【Personal Center】.

【Player: Tang Song (24')】

【Role: Jinxiu Trading - Development Engineer】

【Height: 180CM, Weight: 90KG】

【Physique: 56, Stamina: 55, Agility: 48, Comprehension: 76】

【Asset Status:】

Balance: 45,220.31 yuan

Enterprise: None

Real Estate: None

Vehicle: Yadea Electric Scooter

After briefly browsing his personal information, the crisp notification sound rang out again: "Ding! The main storyline has been opened."

Immediately after, a gorgeous progress bar appeared directly above 【Personal Center】.

There were 9 nodes evenly distributed on it.

【24' (Initial Charm)... 30o... 40o... 50o... 60o... 70o... 80o... 90o... 100o】

Starting from "30," a wobbling golden treasure chest floated above each node, seemingly waiting to be claimed.

【Plot Summary: Once the player's charm rating reaches a certain threshold, corresponding assets and permissions for that stage will be unlocked for you in reality.】

【Note 1: Perhaps your achievements in the game are not ethereal; continuously completing system tasks and improving yourself will yield the rewards you dream of.】

【Note 2: When the charm rating reaches 30, the "Growth Plan Mission" can be officially opened.】

"This... what is this?" Tang Song stared blankly at the front.

Having played "Male God Growth Plan" for so long, he had of course had similar beautiful dreams, and more than once.

But never so clearly and realistically.

If possible, who wouldn't want to undergo a gorgeous transformation?

Male god-level appearance, a healthy and energetic body, freely squandered wealth, a life without regrets...

He thought, he dreamed of it!

He tentatively used his consciousness to lightly touch the treasure chest above 【Charm 30】.

A system prompt popped up immediately:

【You are still 6 points of charm away from unlocking this stage's rewards, hurry up and improve yourself!】

Just at this moment, the notification sound rang out again: "Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 【Novice Gift Pack*1】."

"Whoosh," a gift pack emitting golden light jumped out, beautiful and magnificent.

Tang Song swallowed his saliva and touched it with his consciousness.

The gift pack wobbled a few times and opened immediately.

"Ding! You have obtained the passive skill 【Male God Aura (LV1)】."

【Male God Aura (LV1)】: Optimizes sleep quality, helps the player enter deep sleep faster, and obtain a good sleep experience.

(Aura Effect: Your first smile every day can earn a 200 yuan cash reward, with a 0.1% probability of obtaining an extra critical hit reward.)

【Note: This skill can be upgraded】

Passive skill? Cash reward?

Tang Song suppressed his excited emotions, took a deep breath, and tried hard to make a smiling expression.

"Ding-dong—" The text message notification sound from his phone rang.

【China Merchants Bank】 Your account ending in 6800 received 200.00 yuan on April 02 at 00:09.

Seeing the bank's deposit information, Tang Song gasped.

Holy crap! You're for real!?

He bit his lower lip hard.

"Hiss—"

The pain was unprecedentedly intense.

Everything before could still be called a hallucination, but the real cash reward placed in front of him powerfully confirmed the existence of the system.

Blood surged, and the sound of his violent heartbeat exploded in his ears like a heavy hammer beating a drum.

Not to mention the huge assets he obtained by cheating in the game, just this passive skill 【Male God Aura】 alone could make his happiness index soar straight up.

Earning 200 yuan a day without working, 6,000 yuan a month, plus his 8,000 yuan monthly salary, totaled 14,000 yuan a month.

Placed in Yancheng, a second-tier city, that was definitely a high-income group; buying a car and a house was no longer a dream!

After a simple shower, he locked the bedroom door.

Tang Song, having calmed down, began to explore the system panel in front of him.

The overall style was consistent with "Male God Growth Plan," but it lacked many modules, such as the very important 【Role Management】, 【Asset Blueprint】, 【Financial Market】, etc.

【Mission Hall】, 【Mall】, and 【Warehouse】 were completely empty.

The entire system looked empty.

Returning to the main interface, looking at the eye-catching 【Charm: 24】 above his character's head, Tang Song shook his head self-deprecatingly.

In "Male God Growth Plan," the character created by the player had an initial charm of 30 points.

And the current him hadn't even reached this base value.

Closing the system interface, Tang Song stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and seriously examined his current self.

His body was loose and flabby, wrapped in a circle of fat on his stomach.

Dark circles under his eyes, puffy eye bags, dull and sallow skin, dry and frizzy hair.

Nasolabial folds, jowls, double chin—the fat on his face made his jawline very blurry.

In terms of appearance, there was really a lot of room for improvement.

Combined with his current situation—an ordinary company employee, no house, no car, no partner, his life a mess—it was no wonder his charm value was so low.

"Ding! You have triggered the challenge mission 【Restraint and Persistence】, please go to 【Mission Center】 to view it."

Tang Song was stunned; he didn't expect to trigger a mission so easily!

He checked the mission information.

【Mission Content: Obesity will greatly increase the burden on the body and increase the incidence of various diseases; challenge yourself to lose 9 kilograms in 20 days and return to a normal weight range.】

【Mission Reward: Lung Strengthening Potion*1】

【Mission Progress: 0%】

He checked the item details.

【Lung Strengthening Potion】: After use, it can effectively improve lung condition, increase vital capacity, provide sufficient oxygen to the body, enhance the body's resistance, promote metabolism, Physique +2, Stamina +1.

【Note: What is the secret to longevity? Keep breathing and don't stop.】

A game item that increases base attributes!

Tang Song's eyes flashed with a scorching light, eager to move.

Lose weight! Must lose weight!

Losing 18 jin (9 kg) in 20 days, almost one jin a day.

Fortunately, his base was relatively large, so it wasn't relatively difficult.

In the past, he had also made up his mind many times to exercise, lose fat, and have a disciplined schedule.

But he would always slack off after a few days and slowly give up.

Ultimately, it was a lack of sufficient motivation and perseverance.

Now that game assets had descended into reality, it had determined a clear main storyline for his life leading to success.

What reason did he have not to work hard?

Besides losing weight, he also had to improve himself in other aspects.

Improve his charm rating to 30 in the fastest way.

Obtain the first stage reward! Unlock the main storyline! Open a new chapter in life!
